POBJFKHS Students Earn Perfect AP Art Scores

Two Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School students earned perfect spring 2023 AP exam scores in the 2D Art & Design category. Nikhita Kapoor and Yeonwoo Lee are among only 377, or—0.77 percent—of students worldwide to earn every point possible in this exam.

“As a District who values the importance of the visual arts, we are extremely proud to hear that two of our students have achieved this distinction after years of hard work and passion for their crafts,” said Dr. Ben Wiley, Director of Art & Digital Instruction in the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District. “These students have reached a level of artistic ability unmatched by many. We could not be happier to celebrate their success as amazing artists, academic students and individuals.”

Nikhita is currently studying fine arts at the Rochester Institute of Technology, and Yeonwoo is a student within a highly competitive pre-dental program at Stony Brook University. Both student artists graduated from POBJFKHS last year with a Regents diploma with Advanced Designation and Honors in Math and Science.
